To the Family,
I remember Wally very well, though I haven't seen him for many years. As a teenager at Pilgrim we used his company pick-up truck for our paper drives. We chatted many times over the years at church when I was an usher or elder. He was one of my role models at Pilgrim as I had lost my Dad in when I was 14.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.-John 14:1-3
May you rest in peace dear Walter. Heaven now has another soldier of the Greatest Generation watching over us. You will be missed very much.
